PAUL RUDOLF VON BILGUER
(born Sep-21-1815, died Sep-16-1840) Germany
[what is this?]
Paul Rudolf von Bilguer was a member of the Berlin Chess Club, one of the 'Berlin Pleiades'. He was a strong player and very good analyst and was the author of the famous Handbuch des Schachspiels. Unfortunately, his early death at the age of 24 prevented his seeing its first publication in 1843.

This first edition as well as the four that followed were edited by his friend Baron Tassilo Heydebrand und der Lasa, who named Von Bilguer alone as author. It contained comprehensive analyses of all opening variations then known, plus a section on the history and literature of chess.

Premium Chessgames Member		  Honza Cervenka: Paul Rudolph von Bilguer (1815-1840) was an author of famous "Handbuch des Schachspiels". Its first edition (1843) was completed after Bilguer's death by Baron Tassilo Von Der Lasa

Premium Chessgames Member		  refutor: i won if there is an opportunity of picking up a copy of that somewhere, for historical purposes...i imagine it would cost a pretty penny. it would be interesting for someone to do a translation today to english and algebraic just to see how much theory has chanced in 160 years

Premium Chessgames Member		  Honza Cervenka: Chessgames.com, I have submitted a few games of Bilguer via your PGN Upload Utility.
Apr-29-06  sigi: What is the spelling of Bilguer's second Christian name? <Rudolf> or <Rudolph>? The German Wikipedia writes <Rudolph> but that doesn't mean anything. A more reliable source seems to be the catalogue of the "Deutsche Bibliothek" where Paul <Rudolf> von Bilguer is the author of the "Handbuch".
Apr-29-06
Premium Chessgames Member		  Calli: <sigi> I think Rudolf is correct. All the editions of "Handbuch" spell his name that way. See, for instance, the latest Olms reprint: http://www.schachversand.de/DBBilde...

Premium Chessgames Member		  keypusher: It was nice of von der Lasa to keep Bilguer's name on the Handbuch for so long.

Premium Chessgames Member		  NARC: refutor:

A friend of mine stumbled over the latest edition (a badly damaged copy) and got it dirt cheap. He gave it to me since he figured I was more likely to check out 100 year old variations (he is a casual player himself). The book was just lying around in my apartment until a spring day 2006 or 2007, a teenage girl went past my window in a bright veil and I went so happy that I took that book, a Michael W Lucas book on OpenBSD and a collection of T.S Eliot poems and went to the libraries. Handbuch and OpenBSD book I gave to the university library in Umea, and the T.S Eliot collection I gave to a high school library. http://www.ub.umu.se is a link to the university library I gave it to, I checked in their database and they still have it. I don't know if they have repaired it.

Premium Chessgames Member		  NARC: refutor: If I remember things right the edition I had was already in algebraic. Most interesting lines were Evans gambit
and King's Gambit.
